                    [Summary] => A US federal court recently upheld the patent for Fosomax, a blockbuster osteoporosis drug produced by Merck, a US pharmaceuticals group which was being challenged by two generic drug makers to enable them to make cheaper versions of the drug.


A Financial Times report from New York said a district court in Delaware ruled against Teva Pharmaceuticals and Ivas Pharmaceutical, two Israeli companies which were attempting to launch inexpensive versions of Fosomax. Merck’s patent on the drug, which generated $455 million in sales last quarter, is valid until August 2007.
